1. A photonic crystal fiber device, comprising:

  • a composite polymer fiber comprising polymer scattering fibers disposed within a polymer filler, the polymer scattering fibers having a refractive index different from a refractive index of the polymer filler, the scattering fibers arranged in cross-section across the polymer fiber in a photonic crystal arrangement selected to provide desired spectral effects for light incident laterally on the composite polymer fiber, wherein at least one of the polymer filler and the scattering fibers comprises a birefringent polymer material.
